As a young man, God called me to the mission field of public education. I began teaching mathematics and coaching in 1984, and God has blessed with numerous opportunities of allowing me to lead students, parents, and fellow-educators to faith in Christ Jesus.

Call to Preach

In the year 2000 at the age of 39, God called me to preach His Word. With His calling, He also empowered me as I began as pastor of the Wilson Community Baptist Church, Henryetta, Oklahoma, March 2000.

Call to Evangelism

In my fifth year as a pastor, God made known that His direction for this ministry would be to serve Him in full-time evangelism. We moved to Haskell, Oklahoma, in September 2004, and I am thrilled to be serving my Lord according to His call on my life.

Personal

My wife Traci and I were married on November 6, 1981, and have 4 wonderful children, three who are married and our youngest in college. We became grandparents in January 2010. I serve as the staff evangelist at the First Baptist Church of Haskell.

Salvation

Jesus forgave my sin and became my Lord and Savior on June 26, 1974, at the age of 14. Our church youth group from First Baptist Church of Haskell was on a mission trip in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and I was baptized on a Sunday on returning to Oklahoma.
